Title: Dallas Yambosi did a good job as rhythm-player on the Dossier X-album

The way he played the Zebola-rhythm from 0:16 until that 0:21 min, sounded like everything came to a halt.

I don't know why but the way he played here (0:13 min), made my remind of Ivorian music (Maybe because Ivorian people copied the way of how Durrel Loemba played rhythm in Extra Musica on the first years of Coupe Decale).

The start of this song made me remind Ndombolo Ya Solo of JB Mpiana, Zaiko and Kongo-folklore.

He's from Central African Republic, right?

If I remember well, only Dallas Yambosi and Guy Nsangue (he's a bassist, but played keyboards according the credits) were musicians coming from a different. Because the rest just came from DRC and Congo Brazzaville.

Did you find those credits on AllMusic? I feel like someone played keyboards not Guy Nsangue.

According to Discogs

Hmmm, strange I'm guessing Guy Nsangue was not just a bass player but a keyboard player but the keyboard playing was a good job.

Its like Djudjuchet who's a drummer but played keyboards on the Reponse Polo Kina-album of Victoria Eleison and Eboulement Totale-album of Wenge El Paris or Maika Munan who's a guitarist but played keyboards for Wenge El Paris on Le Monde Envers-album and classic albums like Loi, Etoile and Noblesse Oblige.

Very true. That's why some of those are always mystique.
